Fitting with the intent of the Task:Maemo brand change-up, this is a proposal to migrate Garage bug tracking into the maemo.org bugzilla. This task is a still in the proposal stage, with many details still to be determined before work can begin.
Proposal
That the Garage bug tracking system be disabled for all new projects, a system for tracking Garage project bugs in bugzilla be put together, and existing Garage project tracking be migrated to it.
As anybody who has ever tried to use the Garage bug tracker knows, it is a very difficult system to work with—it is difficult to submit bugs, it is difficult to find bugs, and it is difficult to track bugs, and should be closed down and disabled asap. The recent Maemo branding changes and maemo.org moving into community hands presents us with a good opportunity to do away with the Garage tracker and moved Garage project bug tracking into a centralized Maemo tracking system—bugzilla.
Objectives
- To move away from the difficult to navigate, manage and use Garage tracking system to the much saner bugzilla.
- Provide a centralized bug tracking system for both Maemo and Maemo-related projects in Garage.
- Encourage Garage project quality by reducing bug tracking overhead, and encouraging user bug reporting.
